Tyres Info
HUNT recommends a 2.25" tyre for best performance, tyre widths between 1.9" and 2.8" are also safe to use.  Note: best performance is usually gained by using tyre pressures lower than the maximum, you can see our blog post about this, read here. Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance. Only use tyres marked as compatible with hookless (TSS) rims. You must not exceed the maximum tyre pressure limits set out in the table below or the maximum limit set by your tyre manufacturer if this is lower.

HIGH SPECIFICATION COMPONENTS _

Rims

The Proven Race XC rim is designed to provide an unparalleled balance between strength and low weight with a modern 30mm internal width for exceptional tyre sidewall support.

Spokes

28 race-ready, straight pull Pillar PSR 1420 spokes connect the cutting edge Proven carbon rim to our CNC machined alloy hub bodies. Each bladed spoke is cold forged and boasts a 30% reduction in weight with no compromise in strength. Strong, fast, lightweight, and they look good too.

Nipples

We don't expect you'll ever need to touch them, but we've assembled the Race XC with tough hard-anodized alloy nipples with the option of either internal or external spoke adjustment. Each of these lightweight, square-headed nipples add a significant weight saving without sacrificing performance.

Freehub Body

Available with SRAM XD, Shimano Microspline or HG freehubs.

Adaptability

Proven wheelsets are built on hubs that can easily be adapted to suit most modern mountain bike standards. What's more, hub adapters are available aftermarket, so if you change to a new bike, your Proven wheelset can move with you.

Bearings

High-quality, double-sealed Revo bearings offer long-lasting, smooth running. Spend less time in the workshop and more time on the trail.

What's in the box _

  • Freehub fitted
